Crystal Meth

Whether legal or illegal, drugs come in all different shapes and sizes including small painkiller pills, liquid cough syrup, and everything in between. These many forms are easy to see with the naked eye but, artist Sarah Schönfeld wondered how the substances might react with other chemicals.

Posing the questions, What all these substances actually look like when their essence is visually depicted?, she took drops of various drugs and squeezed them onto negative film that had already been exposed.

In reaction with the film coating, the chemicals grew and expanded into amorphous shapes and vibrant colors that produced wonderfully abstract photographs, a series called All You Can Feel. She explains, “The shapes and colors that appeared showed unique characteristics and revealed unique internal universes.”

I Died Today. By Duke Roberts.

And I ate a lot of hamburgers. We had a party. Note: This wasn’t my dog or situation; I thought it was worth sharing though. The photos and captions on this post have been reproduced as they originally appeared on photographer Robyn Arouty’s blog. http://www.robynarouty.com/

And I laughed.

And I thought about how much I’m going to miss it here.

We told jokes.

We were serious.

My friends from next door came to see me. They’re twins. When someone offered them one of my hamburgers, one said, “No thank you. I don’t want to take any from Dukey”.

Kristen came to see me. She’s a hoot. She’s my groomer. And my buddy.

While we were waiting for the vet to come Kristen said we were going for a walk. Then someone said, “How about a play in the water at the splash park down the street?” So off we went!

“You know I’m going to miss you, right?”

“And you too, right?”

“I need you to help me watch over my family.”

“Did you hear me? This is all I want!”

We got wet today.

We smiled today.

We felt grateful today.

We broke the rules today.

I listened to the kids play off in the distance. And thought about my two babies at home. I loved protecting them.

I relaxed today.

I felt no pain. Even though the tumor grew so big.

I felt the love today.

I said goodbye to my beautiful friend Kira. She “saw” me standing over everybody before the doctor said it was time. I was excited & jumping & happy.

Well, I didn’t say goodbye. I said ’til we meet again.

God, I was lucky. Our time was short. But you both gave me a second chance & we lived it up together. You love when I look at you. I’ll never stop.

Always, Dukey.

1. If you adopt, you’ll save a life

Around 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized each year in the United States simply because too many people give up their pets, and too few people adopt from shelters.

Because there is limited space at shelters, staff members sometimes need to make very hard decisions to euthanize animals who haven’t been adopted.

The number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets instead of buying them.

By adopting from a private humane society or animal shelter, rescue group, or the local animal-control agency, you’ll help save the lives of two animals—the pet you adopt and a homeless animal somewhere who can be rescued because of space you helped free up.

2. When you adopt, you get a healthy pet

Animal shelters and rescue groups are brimming with happy, healthy animals just waiting for someone to take them home. Most shelters examine and give vaccinations to animals when they arrive, and many spay or neuter them before being adopted. In addition to medical care, more and more shelters also screen animals for specific temperaments and behaviors to make sure each family finds the right pet for its lifestyle.

It is a common misconception that animals end up in shelters or with rescue groups because they’ve been abused or done something "wrong." In fact, most animals are given to shelters or rescue groups because of "people reasons," not because of anything they’ve done. Things like a divorce, a move, lack of time, and financial constraints are among the most common reasons pets lose their homes.

Most shelters and rescue organizations do assessments on every new pet taken in, to determine things like temperament, whether the pet has any aversion to other pets or people, whether he is housebroken, has had obedience training, etc. Many of these organizations also have resources to help pets with lack of training or behavioral issues. So when you adopt a pet from one of these organizations, you have a pretty good idea what to expect from your new dog or cat when you bring him home.

3. Adopting will save you money

Adopting a pet from an animal shelter or rescue group is much less expensive than buying a pet at a pet store or through other sources. In addition, animals from many shelters are already spayed or neutered and vaccinated, which makes the shelter’s fee a real bargain. 

4. Adopting a pet will make you feel better

Pets have a way of putting a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Not only do animals give you unconditional love, but they have been shown to be psychologically, emotionally, and physically beneficial. Caring for a companion animal can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment and lessen feelings of loneliness and isolation in all age groups.

Find your new best friend today! Search for adoptable pets at the Shelter Pet Project.

Pets can help your physical health as well—just spending time with an animal can help lower a person’s blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and dog walking, pet grooming, and even petting provide increased physical activity that can help strengthen the heart, improve blood circulation, and slow the loss of bone tissue. Put simply, pets aren’t just good friends; they’re also good medicine and can improve a person’s well-being in many ways. 

5. If you adopt, you won’t be supporting puppy mills and pet stores

Puppy mills are "factory style" breeding facilities that put profit above the welfare of dogs. Most animals raised in puppy mills are housed in shockingly poor conditions with improper medical care, and the parents of the puppies are kept in cages to be bred over and over for years, without human companionship and with little hope of ever joining a family. And after they’re no longer profitable, breeding dogs are simply discarded—either killed, abandoned or sold at auction.

Puppy-mill puppies are sold to unsuspecting consumers in pet stores, over the Internet, and through newspaper classified advertisements to whoever is willing to pay for them.

Marketed as coming from great breeders, well-rehearsed sales tactics keep money flowing to the puppy mill by ensuring that buyers never get to see where the pups actually come from (a vital step in puppy-buying). Many of the puppies have serious behavioral and health problems that might not be apparent for months, including medical problems that can cost thousands of dollars to treat, if they are treatable at all. Unfortunately, a lot of people are not even aware that puppy mills exist, so when they buy a pet from a pet store, online or other retail outlet, they are unwittingly supporting this cruel industry.

By adopting instead of buying a pet, you can be certain you aren’t supporting cruel puppy mills with your money. Puppy mills will continue to operate until people stop purchasing from them. Instead of buying a pet, visit your local shelter or contact a local rescue group, where you will likely to find dozens of healthy, well-socialized puppies, kittens, and adult pets—including purebreds—just waiting for that special home—yours.

This weekend, tech journalist Ryan Block attempted to cancel his Comcast subscription over the phone. Instead of a quick hello and goodbye, the conversation turned into a harrowing, 18-minute customer service odyssey, with the company rep refusing again and again to disconnect Block’s service without an explanation. The guy sounds like a soon-to-be ex desperately trying to fend off a breakup. This is extremely painful to listen to and might induce a PTSD fit of rage, you have been warned!

The new report by the United Nations’ Human Rights Council is nearly 400 pages of horrifying detail about North Korea’s systematic "crimes of extermination, murder, enslavement, torture, rape and persecution on grounds of race, religion and gender." Based on interviews with hundreds of witnesses and victims, it’s dense, disturbing reading. But in case the firsthand accounts aren’t affecting enough, one former prisoner, Kim Kwang-il, who spent two years in a prison in North Korea, enlisted an illustrator to draw the torture he witnessed.

Scale, Aeroplane, Motorcycle Torture: Prisoners were made to hold uncomfortable positions for extended periods of time.

Pigeon Torture: According to one prisoner, "Your hands are handcuffed behind your back. And then they hang you so you would not be able to stand or sit" for up to three days. "There are no people watching you. There is nobody. And you can’t stand, you can’t sleep. If you are hung like that for three days, four days, you urinate, you defecate, you are totally dehydrated. … [the pigeon torture] was the most painful of all tortures… [it] was so painful that I felt it was better to die."

Detention Center: "People who fainted during an interrogation session were accused of faking their unconsciousness and made to start again."

Starvation: "Their rations were so little of it that the families hunted snakes and rodents to secure the survival of their young children."

Rotting Bodies: "The mice eat the eyes, nose, ears, and toes of the corpses."

Mass Graves: "When the corpses started to rot, the other prisoners were made to go to the mountains where they dug a hole and dumped the bodies without any coffin, ceremony or gravesite marking."

Solitary Confinement: "Once you are in there, not a lot of people make it out. Once you are in the solitary cell, you are beaten up and they give you 30 grams per meal and you get cold, so that leads to an immediate weakness. Somebody who weighs 50 kilograms [when they go in], their weight is reduced to 20 kilograms [when they exit solitary confinement]."

There comes a time in a man’s life when he should grow up and get serious about a relationship. Maybe that’s true for some, but surely that doesn’t mean you have to submit to the ways of a dominant and controlling woman, does it? You don’t have to cower in the corner with your emasculated tail between your legs. Hell no!

If you’ve ever wondered whether or not you’re one of the many unfortunate suckers out there who’ve joined the ranks of the whipped (and are probably being mocked and ridiculed for it to boot), take a look at this list of top 10 signs you’re whipped; if you recognize any of them, for God’s sake, man up and do something about it.

1. Going for a beer requires permission

It’s not just going for a beer that requires her permission, so does every other trivial excursion. In the mind of your power-hungry girlfriend, going for a beer with your friends spells out trouble and, therefore, it’s heavily frowned upon. All of a sudden, you can’t even pop into a pub for a quick one at the end of the day without facing a barrage of harassment when you return home. Subsequently, you’ve stopped doing it to avoid the hassle that, for the record, makes you a spineless pansy. This is a big one boys, but our signs you’re whipped doesn’t end here.

2. She makes your decisions for you

You question how you ever let it get to the point where she makes your decisions for you, but it’s true. In your protective prison/womb of a relationship you no longer really make anything more than minor life decisions for yourself. Somehow, she’s managed to grant herself a seat on the UN Security Council that is your life and she’s not afraid to wield her power of veto. As mandated by No. 9 of our signs you’re whipped, you have little or no say in the affairs that directly concern you, such as holiday destinations, major purchases or even plans for the weekend.

3. You have a joint e-mail account

We all have friends who’ve fallen into the insane trap of sharing an e-mail account. You know the case: Buddy meets, dates and gets married to a dominant girl and, before you know it, you’re receiving e-mails that are signed by them both, but clearly written by her. This loss of independence is one of the clearest and most seemingly innocent signs you’re whipped by a woman. Certain prerogatives must be sacrificed in any serious relationship, of course, but don’t let her combine your personalities into one and do your speaking for you.

4. You go home when she’s ready

There was a time when men would drink their fill and decide if it was time to go home or not. Things have certainly changed for you if you’re whipped — and not in any kind of progressive and mature way either. The decision to go home during a night of socializing is no longer yours when you’re whipped; now you wait for the “I’m ready” command and then rush off to get the coats and issue apologies to your friends (who, once you’ve left, just shake their heads and talk about your pathetic transformation). Your friends clearly recognize the signs that you’re whipped and they can’t understand why you allow it to continue.

5. You have a different social group

When your friends are magically replaced with her friends, you can take it as one of the definite signs you’re whipped. It’s no longer acceptable for you to spend time with your old crew, so you find yourself looking for an acceptable substitute, which ends up being the boring boyfriend of one of her friends. You have simply lost touch with all your old friends and you can’t understand how it ever happened.

6. She commits you to events

You might think your calendar of events is pretty open for the next few months, but little did you know how wrong you are as she has committed you to other events. In actuality, you’ve already been penciled into about a dozen boring affairs that are completely unbeknownst to you. The really sad thing is that she does it without your permission because she knows she doesn’t need it — since you display such clear signs you’re whipped.

7. You constantly worry about her reaction

It’s a definite sign that you’re whipped when you get some piece of news (good or bad) and your thoughts immediately turn to how she will respond when she hears it. You don’t even consider how it affects you anymore, which is pretty weird when you think about it. When you walk through the door at the end of a day, you automatically start running through a list of things that have potentially made her angry and you brace yourself for her accusations and complaints.

8. Your friends don’t even bother

On your average Friday afternoon you used to get several calls and even more text messages from friends wondering about your plans for the evening. Now you get nothing because everyone just assumes that you’ll be kept under lock and key all weekend, and the scary thing is they’ve given up trying to help you escape.

9. What you once took for granted is now a victory

You’re whipped if your basic God-given rights, like killing a few beers and watching the game or other things you used to do regularly, have been usurped. Now, when you gain “permission” you feel like it’s your lucky day, even if it is tainted with the bitter knowledge that you’ll probably have to do something really annoying to pay her back for her so-called generosity.

10. You’re no longer interesting, funny or desirable

Essentially, her power over you has managed to drain you of all your willpower and creativity. Often it’s the ego that gets hit hardest when a man has been whipped into submission. You know you’re acting like a chump and you begin to accept your dismal situation in order to spare yourself the embarrassment of dealing with it publicly. Over time you’ve been forced to water yourself down so much in the name of maturity and respectability — terms used to manipulate you — that you can no longer pretend to be of any use to anyone but your overbearing girlfriend. whipped into shape So, do you recognize any of these signs? If so, we feel for you even though it’s no one’s fault but your own; you should have defended your rights and dignity from the start. The end of the whip is not a nice place to be and if you’ve somehow found yourself there, we wish you all the luck in the world in reversing it. You’ll certainly need it.

CONgress

This war has been going on for the past 40 years, and has proven to be a failure morally, practically, and economically. This series of 10 illustrations show various aspects or events of the war in its most recent years, and suggesting a potential solution to a very complex problem. You can view all the images and others at Jeff Gomez

The world’s largest consumer of illegal drugs is the United States. Cocaine is grown and processed in South America, and due to its illegality, the exportation and importation process is both risky and extremely profitable. A kilogram of raw coke is worth $250. By the time it reaches the United States, the retail price has grown to $107,000 for that same kilo. That is a profit margin of 1400% enjoyed by drug cartels, banks and corrupt governments. The system of prohibition put in place by Congress impedes the rights of Americans to put whatever substance they wish into their bodies, while simultaneously making billions of dollars annually. If you do not own your body, you are slave.

Cocalero

Evo Morales is a politician, social activist, and the first indigenous president of Bolivia. Coca has been cultivated for 8,000 years by the indigenous people of the Andes for medicinal and religious purposes. In an effort to halt the processing of coca into cocaine, the Bolivian and US governments have been eradicating fields of coca with fire and herbicides, leading to longstanding environmental, health and socioeconomic issues in this largely agricultural nation. Morales’ Cocalero movement has helped protect the coca plant from eradication as well as the rights of the indigenous people of Bolivia.

Jesus Malverde

Jesus Malverde, sometimes known as the ‘generous bandit’, ‘angel of the poor’ or ‘narco-saint’, is a folklore hero of the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Legend says he stole from the rich and gave to the poor, until he was executed in 1909. This Robin Hood-like character is seen as the patron saint of drug trafficking, and if you leave an offering and prayer at his shrine, he may bless your travels over the border with safety and prosperity. Jesus Malverde is often paired with Santa Muerte (Saint Death), death often being an inevitable cost of drug trafficking.

Poppy Fields

Since 1992 Afghanistan has been one of the biggest producers of opium, the poppy extract used to produce heroin, despite the ban of opium enforced by the Taliban. Opium production has been steadily on the rise since U.S. occupation in 2001. 92% of non-pharmaceutical opiates originate in Afghanistan. This amounts to an export value of about $4 billion for the year. The poor farmer families earn only a fraction, while the rest goes to district officials, insurgents, warlords and drug traffickers. Opium cultivation and use goes against the teachings of the Quran, yet these farmers are forced economically to continue production. The U.S. military protected these poppy fields from Taliban forces, assuring the flow of opium out of Afghanistan.

Fast and Furious

In Operation Fast and Furious, ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) deliberately allowed as many as 2,000 firearms to walk into the hands of low level suspects as a tactic to track the weapons to drug cartel kingpins. Guns tracked by ATF were found at crime scenes on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border, including the scene where Border Agent Brian Terry was murdered. In the aftermath of Terry’s murder the gunwalking operation became public and revealed corruption within ATF, who claimed they never officially approved the operation.

Mop Up

Drug-related violence in Mexico has been occurring for over three decades. In 2006 Presidente Felipe Calderon took a more aggressive approach against drug cartels by sending Mexican Army soldiers to the state of Michoacan to end the violence there. Through the Merida Initiative the United States has aided Mexico with funding, military training, and equipment. The violence however has only escalated. Since 2006, approximately 86,391 deaths have been recorded. These numbers include drug cartel members, police, soldiers, politicians, journalists and children.

Prison Industrial Complex

The War on Drugs is a war on our own people. Over the past 40 years, the war on drugs has accounted for more than 45 million arrests and has cost more than $1 trillion dollars. Today over half of people incarcerated are for non-violent drug offenses. Drug use is equal among white and black people, yet black Americans are 10 times more likely to be sent to prison for drug offenses. Today black Americans represent 56% of those incarcerated, even though they represent only 13% of the US population. The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, yet it has almost 25 percent of the world’s incarcerated population. It costs about $129 a day to keep an inmate locked up. These numbers keep growing rapidly each year as more prisons become privatized, feeding small and large businesses whose main interests are to keep people incarcerated and exploit their labor.

Repeating History

Alcohol prohibition in the United States was a national ban on the sale, production, and transportation of alcohol that took place from 1920-1933. Effective enforcement of the ban proved to be very difficult. Prohibition resulted in making outlaws of millions of Americans who had no intention to stop drinking. The demand for alcohol remained, which caused the growth of underground breweries, bootleggers, and consequently violent criminal organizations such as the American Mafia. Internal corruption and violence in the streets got so out of control that the government eventually lifted the ban. Sound Familiar? The consequences of prohibition are equally present today with the War on Drugs.

Addiction

Substance abuse is fundamentally a compulsive behavior disorder. The habitual use of a drug substance, whether alcohol or heroin, causes a chemical dependency, and serious withdrawal symptoms occur when the habit is interrupted. Addiction is hereditary, meaning family background and genetics play a large role. Drug abuse is often linked with psychiatric problems and disorders; it is a health issue of the mind as well as body. Addiction is extremely difficult to overcome, often characterized by frequent relapse and an unbearable hopelessness. Drug abuse should be seen as a public health issue, instead the legal system sees it as a criminal offense. The illegality of drugs creates a wide social stigma that alienates drug addicts. They are fellow human beings that have grown sick, so should be treated with empathy and compassion, not punished with incarceration.

Re-Legalize

In 1914 the consumption and distribution of cocaine and heroin became illegal. In 1937 marijuana possession and consumption became illegal. In 1951 the penalties for drug violations were increased, and increased even further in 1956. Prior to drug prohibition, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, morphine and cannabis were legally available without prescription as long as they had accurate labels with content and dosage. Pharmaceutical drugs are legally available for countless ailments. From depressants to stimulants and everything in between, drugs are legally available for consumption. The only difference is one is illegal, and the other is taxed and regulated with much safer standards. Legalizing drugs would allow for regulation, safe production and give back the freedom of choice to the American people.

Why Re-Legalize?

Re-Legalizing drugs will cause a dramatic shift in what we perceive as the War on Drugs. Making drugs legal again would dramatically reduce the number of people incarcerated so that real crimes of person and property can be focused on. Government corruption in courts and law enforcement will decrease dramatically. Violent gangs and cartels will be reduced in power and influence, ceasing the need to fight over drug trafficking territories. Eliminating prohibition laws will reduce the public cost of the drug war as well as deny the excessive wealth of those who pioneer it. Regulation will allow drugs available to be safer in both product and distribution. Treatment for drug addicts will involve education and rehabilitation, not punishment. Americans, and all fellow Human Beings are by nature created equal, and are endowed with certain unalienable Rights: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness and the Freedom of Choice.

1. Understand what a gold digger is, and is not. There’s nothing wrong with a person being concerned about your financial stability. A long-term partnership means depending on each other through the ups and downs, and being financially reliable does help with that to a degree. The difference between a gold digger and someone who values your role as a provider is that the gold digger would deride and perhaps leave you if you lost your ability to provide for them financially. A good person can appreciate your financial resources, but a gold digger appreciates only that, and will not see the relationship as worthwhile if you’re not well off.

2. Gold diggers drop hints that they’re having trouble paying their bills (sometimes they might even ask you directly for a “loan” to tide them over).They know that you don’t want to see them get an eviction notice, or get their car repossessed, and you’re a good person who’s in a position to help. But there’s a difference between a gold digger and someone who’s just fallen on bad times. What you should be looking for is if, despite their situation, this person is making poor financial decisions. Do they buy a brand new car with luxury features when they’re struggling to pay rent? Do they buy $300 shoes or watches when their phone service is at risk of getting cut off? Do they go to expensive restaurants when their credit cards are maxed out, because they “work hard” and they “earned it”? Many gold diggers know better than to ask you to fund their more luxurious tastes, at least in the beginning; they’ll tap into your desire to help them afford the things they need (food, shelter, transportation) so that they can spend their own money on the things they want.

3. When they discuss their financial woes, suggest ways in which the suspected gold digger can make money fast. When you mention the possibility of them selling their luxury car, video console, guitar, diamond bracelet, or any other expensive item that could keep them from becoming homeless or having their utilities cut off or car repossessed, how do they respond? The average person will be saddened and may even become angry or upset, but a gold digger will be appalled at the very idea that they should have to give up their prized possessions in order to meet their own basic needs. They’ll treat the idea as ludicrous. More often than not, their dismissal of the idea will be accompanied by anger or even rudeness. This is a very subtle pointer that would give you a very good sense of their sense of entitlement.

4. Look for a sense of entitlement. Gold diggers feel that they deserve to be treated well, and that includes knowing that someone is willing to spend money on them. Maybe it’s because they had a bad childhood or relationship, and they feel they deserve to be happy (and it just so happens that their joy carries a high price tag). Or maybe they feel it’s their right to be able to pursue their big dreams at the expense of financial stability, and, coincidentally, haven’t considered who will foot the bill of their soul-searching. Have you noticed unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment? This sense of entitlement is one of the symptoms of narcissistic behavior, which has other symptoms that a potential gold digger might harbor:

• grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
• preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
• believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
• requires excessive admiration
• lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
• often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

5. Ask them meaningful questions.

• What is the best gift they’ve ever gotten? Gold diggers will almost always cite an expensive, material object, not a uniquely personal and thoughtful gift.
• What’s the biggest thing you ever had to give up to do or get something you really wanted? What you’re searching for here is evidence of delayed gratification - the ability to give up something now so that you can achieve something greater, later. Gold diggers are notoriously spoiled or sheltered, and have never had to really wait, work, or struggle for what they want because somehow, someone was always there to help.

6. See what questions they ask you. Certain questions which might seem harmless might really be an attempt to judge your ability to provide. None of these questions, alone, should get you worried but all of them on the first date should definitely send up a red flag:

• How much do you make a year? Why would she/he ask this question? Because a gold digger is a mobile calculator, therefore every question that relates to money is calculated to determine the percentage of the total amount that she/he believes she/he “deserves”.
• Are you a homeowner? And what type of car do you drive? They are trying to determine your overall worth and whether being with you is a profitable investment for them.
• How many kids do you have? Your answer to the question will help her/him determine (calculate) much of your income and attention goes to your children and how much time you can devote to her/him. A gold digger is a needy individual that will take up a lot of your money, time and energy.

7. Search for signs of generosity and gratitude towards you. After having gone on several dates, has this person ever offered to pay? When you do pay, does he or she say thank you? Do they ever offer to help you in other ways? (And no, physical intimacy doesn’t count); do they cook you dinner when you’ve been out working late? Fix your computer? Run an errand for you when your schedule’s especially tight? If these character traits are missing, is this really someone you want to get involved with? A person doesn’t develop gratitude and generosity overnight…

8. Indulge in a pipe dream. A pipe dream is basically a long shot. Take one of your childhood fantasies and run with it. Tell the person you’re dating that you’re thinking about becoming the mechanic, farmer, supermodel, writer, [insert dream career here] you’ve always wanted to be. Explain how if you were to ever do this, it would require a significant lifestyle change; you’d have to go back to school, relocate, or whatever would make it clear that your standard of living will go down dramatically. How does this person respond? Do they seem concerned? That’s normal. A good person will encourage you to follow your dreams while simultaneously helping you think of ways to do it practically and responsibly. A gold digger will look horrified or disgusted and say things like “You’re not really serious, are you?” OR they are ready to call it quits and leave because you are paying attention to “you” instead of “them”.

9. Watch yourself. It feels good to help people, whether you just helped someone avoid becoming homeless, or you’re helping an aspiring artist or entrepreneur launch his or her career, but you have to be careful that you don’t fall into a pattern where your help become the norm, so much so that without your financial assistance, the relationship would crumble. If you’re the kind of person who has trouble saying “no”, or who is intensely sympathetic and compassionate, you’re more likely to bump into a gold digger. You might also face the feeling that this is one of the most attractive or intriguing people you’ve ever dated, and you don’t want to ruin your chances, but don’t be fooled by a good looking exterior. It could cost you.

10. Listen to the types of questions you are asked. Even seemingly innocuous questions like “What do you do?” and “Where do you live?” can be loaded questions, asked in an attempt to ascertain your net worth and lifestyle. In any case, do not answer these questions directly – but start out by explaining your life story. What things happened to you as a child/teenager that shaped the life you live today? A person truly interested in who you are will listen intently and ask questions of a more personal nature – whereas a gold digger will not have the patience to get to know you first; they will only want to find out your current financial position before investing any time in you. Gold diggers in a social situation will work the room and are “on the clock”. The longer you can delay telling them what you do, they will be unable to size you up and you stand a better chance of weeding them out.

1. (left) 7.62x51mm Plastic short-range training tracer, a type of ‘Simunition’ training ammo, designed for short-range training ranges where stray bullets and ricochets could be a concern (the whole blue section is the projectile). This one has a radiogenic tracer pellet that allows visual tracking of the round in daylight and night conditions. 2. (center) 7.92mm Mauser – an early German bullet used during the wars of the first half of the 20th century, however, during WWII, it was one of the few cartridges used by both the Axis and Allies. This particular specimen seems to be a ‘sabotage’ exploding cartridge, as it appears to be loaded with a blasting cap and a small amount of explosive. 3. (right) 6.5x55mm wood bullet, usually used for drill rounds or for blanks in automatic weapons. The reason they are used in automatic weapons is that the wood bullet generates enough pressure to operate the action, but is normally shredded by a muzzle attachment.

1. (left) .38 Special Glaser Blue Safety Slug, a frangible bullet made by Cor-bon in 70′s and was the precursor to sintered or “safety” rounds that are supposed to basically disintegrate upon first impact. The original round was a hand-made hollow point bullet filled with No. 12 birdshot (0.05″) with a flat polymer cap (the blue circle). 2. (right) .224 BOZ, developed in the late 1990s with the purpose of defeating body armour. Original trials were successful, with this round firing a 50 gr projectile chronographed at over 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s). The main application of this bullet was intended to be made available for anti-terrorist and special forces use, not civilian use.

1. (left) Round-nosed Full Metal Jacket (FMJ), this bullet (often used for handguns) is of a soft lead core encased in a shell (jacket) of harder metal, usually cupronickel or gilding metal. The jacket allows for higher muzzle velocities than bare lead without depositing significant amounts of metal in the bore. The jacket allows for higher muzzle velocities than bare lead without depositing significant amounts of metal in the bore. 2. (center) Solid brass Hyrda Shok FMJ hollow point, an expanding bullet that has a pit or hollowed out shape in its tip often intended to cause the bullet to expand upon entering a target in order to decrease penetration and disrupt more tissue as it travels through the target. It is also used for controlled penetration, where over-penetration could cause collateral damage (such as on an aircraft). 3. 9mm tracer round (or possibly an explosive projectile), these type of bullets are built with a small pyrotechnic charge in their base. Ignited by the burning powder, the pyrotechnic composition burns very brightly, making the projectile visible to the naked eye. This enables the shooter to follow the projectile trajectory to make aiming corrections.

1 (left). .455 Webley, a British handgun cartridge, innovated in 1887, most commonly used in the Webley top break revolvers Marks I through VI. The .455 cartridge was a service revolver cartridge, featuring a rimmed cartridge firing a .45 bullet at the relatively low velocity of 650 ft/s (190 m/s). The result was a cartridge and handgun combination with relatively mild recoil, but with good penetration and excellent stopping power. It was rated superior to the .45 Colt. 2. (right) .38 Speer Plastic Training bullets, designed in the 70s, this is a reusable molded plastic training component (red) with a firing primer (black) for short-range practice up to 25 feet. They are intended to operate with little recoil, giving the user better ability to practice aiming and technique.

1.(left) HK DM11 Penetrator Ultimate Combat, a German cartridge, designed for the MP7 firearm, this bullet can penetrate the NATO CRISAT target at more than 300 meters. It is designed to minimize weight and recoil while increasing penetration of body armor. It features a bottlenecked case and a pointed, steel-core, brass-jacketed bullet. 2. (center) 5.56mm XM216 Flechette, a bullet designed specifically for the Special Purpose Inpidual Weapon (SPIW) needlegun, which fires a small fin-stabilized metal dart. The purpose of this gun and ammo was to eventually replace the military’s M16 (an idea had around the 90s), since it was lighter weight and had less recoil (being that it just shot a litter arrow), however, this plan never manifested. Interestingly, the name of the bullet ‘Fletchette’ is actually French for ‘little arrow. 3. (right) 7.62/.220 Salvo Squeezebore projectile, a triplex bullet which, when fired, are separated by compression into three separate projectiles in a circular dispersion, increasing hit probability. Projectiles were designed to be lethal to at least 400m and disperse in a pattern that would ensure at least one hit on a man-sized target at 400m.

1. (left) 9x19mm Cobra “High Safety Ammunition” multi-dart – an experimental cartridge of steel darts inside a polymer sabot that was made in the early 1970′s and was supposedly meant as an armor-piercing round for use by troops that went into tunnels where a low muzzle-flash and low-recoil cartridge would be needed. 2. (right) 9x19mm Israeli riot control shrapnel shell – an anti-personnel cartridge with steel balls embedded in amber resin, which would be ejected upon firing, allowing them to continue along the shell’s trajectory and strike the target inpidually, operating very much in the same way a land-mine would.
